ever pass a bag of chips from car to car.
Guilty
That is an epic speedo fail.
-
Chips, no. Pizza, yes :)
Looks like a fun trip!

You look like one of the Smokers in Waterworld here... ;D

Can't find a decent picture of it... The Deacon's '61 Lincoln 'vert.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be the JFK death car.

Way to Much Fun buddy. I would have installed a bigger bottle myself.
-
but whats it for??? i know.. whats the other side of the rope goto... your going to have to guess...
-
Charlie Manson's version of cruise control I suspect.
-
Nah, his heater control valve is broken so he has to use the rope to get or stop heat as needed. If it was for cruise he has enough junk laying around he would have something like this.
Second Cable, Pull to set push to release. Deadmans Throttle.

I vote cruise... ghetto-style.
-
I talked to him last night on the phone and he said it was for the flux capacitor for inter dimensional hyper drive. Fully designed by 'Doc'.
-
that car looks fun!
-
Doc would have used Stainless Steel, hence it is a copy of a design therefore it doesn't work as intended. He'd have burned less time and fuel if it did.
-
rope was free... piece of the curtin rod i hung up front...
my real way will be vac operated off the pump with 2 valves for vac/release and a pedal switch from older vac style cruise for that to work too... just no speed up/slow down via comp.. but no real way for sensor so it helps... works perty good too...
-
Damn man, you got up to some pretty insane speeds to bend the speed needle like that. F epic fail, epic speedo WIN right there! What did the GPS say when you were going that fast?
And great to have you back, in one piece, and no more sane than you left. Can't wait to see you at madness '13!
-
just got engine out, towed to where ill store it till may.. gotta pull the wiring, tails, get tails/bulb holders, then wire them up for towing purposes.. taking to cincy show (1st weekend in june) and madness (2nd weekend in july).. next fall ill probally start the build..
-
Why not start it this fall? ;) Still got practically a year until next fall! LMAO
-
well honestly.. ~$500 for some type of coil kit is the delay.. i know my "yearly" fun budget.. the $s tied up in getting this, then april/may 2x cost of living months.. june, july this needs to road trip.. so sept is when the soonest i see my pulling the shell from the frame..
so if you wanna donate a free new set of coils for it.. it may drive in july... else next season..
realism is i want the piggy bank to be a little heavy when i start.. dont wanna skimp on this.. can only do the body pull/install right 1 time.. hate i have too the 1 time.. and this helps my build the piggy bank.. but i do wanna drive it in 2014.. so next fall...

want... LOL... wanted is the word you seek.. want is kinda like i want but do not have... wanted is want but i have.. its like dating a chick.. want is to date.. wanted is dated and please die type of thing.. :P
but yes much fun.. could i have got it shipped to me.. yea $1kish... or spend 1k in fuel.. 2 weeks... freeze butt off.. camp.. so on.. more fun to get it myself..
<--banned on vortex... but keep eye on rocco section as cincy is june... 6 mo show season starts 4 me.. but i saw uk's rocco at madness.. so with his will 2k be too much.. i needed a reply on his thread..
-
guess i need to sell it... no vin #... no "good history" of the kit... via ohio's laws.. it will never be able to be used/registered.. they will impound it much like trailers with tdi's on them... cannot see how i can even tow to shows now this season...
at least it not in cali.. their laws suck.. now i know why it sat there never finished.. there it gets build date of inspection when complete.. aka 2013 epa buddy.. or current year of build... unless your 1 of 1st 500 of year to apply..
so in theory i towed a untitled trailer ~3700miles with expired plates (some fiticious expired in 89 cali plate on car, my guess doner car parts) cross country.. with a unnotirized piece of scratch paper...
so sadly those who i wanted to see it.. for myself who wanted to own it... we all got screwed..
-
do not send me pm's with ideas..
i have thought of bill of sale states... wow lets just make sure it turns into a felony..
and i own the mk1 i planned to build with... so i have a good vin # for the car to build with... cannot just slip it on.. as then it same as bs with trailer... no proof of how vin got on it.. where kit was purchaed from original person.. or any of that...
yea i can have lots of build pics/proof.. but by ohio's law.. gotta have notorized receipt for the body/frame.. and the state pigs then do history of it all.. and impound it if question till resolved.. after you spend all the $ to make street legal 1st..
-
i'll give you about tree fiddy
i would think that there is some sort of path to having it titled, certainly the seller could still have a bill of sale notorized and then mail it to you? some type of body swap registration? or custom vehicle registration?
it'd be a real shame if u can't get it on the road i can only imagine how fun that thing would be. i think if i was doing a kit car tho it would probably be more along the lines of a lotus 7 super stalker with some type of odd yet common engine in it, with cheap drive line parts, i met the brunton dude that makes the kits at the carlisle euro and kit car show he was really a down to earth british guy he said most of it uses s10 parts so everything is cheap and easy to get.
-
s10s are junk... ill leve it at that...
problem is guy i got it from lacks where he got it from... aka history ohio checks into and will impound till answered...
my tow guy moved.. no impound fee title that way... and that also got $$$ to get back to road cause it becomes salvage, then has to pay for rebuilt salvage title...
so not like
